· Review and processing of all proposed subdivisions of land;

· Review and processing of all requests for zoning map changes (including conditional zoning);

· Review and processing of all requests for amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) as approved by the appropriate planning board;

· Review and processing of all applications for Board of Adjustment (variances, special use permits, appeals and/or interpretations);

· Review and approval of sign permits, temporary use permits and other similar land use permits.

· Our office also serves as the primary point of contact with the Technical Review Committee, a committee composed of city, county and State personnel that meets for purpose of reviewing plans for new non-residential and multi-family development projects.
